Seal and soul

I have been enjoying the Soul album (that is the title) of the Nigerian-born singer Seal for some time now. This is one of my favourite titles on the album, which is comprised of retakes of (mostly) classic soul hits. This one is by Sam Cooke, another all-time great. Soul lives! And you should also hear Seal's retakes of some Otis Redding numbers. Totally respectful and yet totally individual. The man is very good.
